c.1960 DeArmond RHC-B Acoustic Magnetic Soundhole Pickup

I had the exact same pickup in a while back and this one is just as good though the original volume wheel is missing (the pot is still there and works) and the original jack was missing as well. I replaced the jack with a same-period jack and this pup is now 100% functional and ready to go.

Here's the closeup of the volume pot mounted underneath. I suppose if you wanted to entirely bypass the pot you could just wire it directly to the jack but I left it on (turned up all the way) in case the new owner can find another one of those odd thumbwheel oversize knobs.
